Before delivering the romantic film of the year, Saiyaara, filmmaker Mohit Suri had already given audiences several fan-favourite romantic films — one of the most iconic being Aashiqui 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. In a recent interaction, Mohit clapped back at an interviewer for comparing Shraddha-Aditya’s stardom to that of Bollywood A-list couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor.
Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, when Mohit was asked about how Shraddha and Aditya’s stardom remains unmatched compared to Alia-Ranbir’s, the filmmaker responded, saying, “I think Shraddha has seen some level of stardom. I don’t know what does that mean but Shraddha’s stardom is insane. Even till today if she goes somewhere, people start shouting Aarohi (her character’s name from Aashiqui 2), and it doesn’t matter how many films she does. I don’t pretend to say that I know what it takes to become a star but I know what is right for my film and I do that.”
It was also after Aashiqui 2’s success that Shraddha’s career reached new heights. She went on to prove her mettle again with the Stree franchise, with her most recent release Stree 2 becoming a massive blockbuster, minting Rs 857.15 crore worldwide.
Earlier, during an event, Shraddha had admitted how Aashiqui 2 escalated her career. She said, “Aarohi came in my life, and changed everything. I am forever grateful and thankful to each and everyone who gave so much love to me as Aarohi. People remember the film, the songs and the story, even after so many years. I would like to also thank Mohit Suri sir for giving me this character and an opportunity of a lifetime. It will always stay with me.”
